Enjoying Barra de Navidad

Barra nightlife is great. We did not know what to expect from these visits, but we've met the nicest, friendliest people in places we've never heard of and are having a blast. Our plan is to skip the big ports and go for the little villages - working like a charm so far.

A little afternoon siesta

Straight out of a French Impressionist art exhibit, we see two not-so-strangers biding time in a Barra cantina - El Gordito (means little fat). Great place.

Here is Jungle entering Barra de Navidad (simply called Barra). The guide book we've been referencing suggested we turn left inside the harbor for a nice anchorage. When every Mexican on shore is screaming for you to turn around, it's time for a new guidebook. We hit bottom but managed to escape to deeper water and a great anchorage.

The admiral is taking a much deserved leave - rafting in Tenecatita Bay. Blowing up the damn raft was my toughest duty to date.

Sounds like your chief navigator fell asleep on the job! They say that no true sailor has never run aground...they, most likely, being those sailors who have run aground.

Hi Ben, We can't be too hard on our boy. He really has fallen head over heels for some Bimbo's. Check out the latest blog update to see. I checked out your blog - very cool trip happening there. Keep it up, Jim
